Lunarium

The cool metal penetrates the fabric on my back,
serving as a reminder that I am corporeal.
The half-moon above asks questions
of loyalty
of morality
of sanity
and I look away.

I have spent many of those moons
running from the senselessness of
the human animal.

It is flawed, imperfect,
beautiful.
Everything I wish I could be.
The humanity that is left
is covetous of the innocence next to me.

I am reminded that everything is cyclical.
Like the moon above, who rolls her eyes and looks away.

In shame
in modesty
in lunacy
I am alone.

Everything You Already Are.

"It is flawed, imperfect,
beautiful.
Everything I wish I could be."

Through your writings I can see the impeccable thoughts that are encased inside you.
When you open that little mechanism of a device to write to us, or to no one in particular..
We are than reminded of the wonderful people out there in the world so like us in many different ways.

Beautifully written dear.
